Troy USD 429 board approves grant submission for ballfield shade, accepts resignations and personnel contracts
Summary
At a June 2 special meeting, the Troy Unified School District 429 Board of Education approved participating in a City of Troy grant for shade coverings at the baseball/softball field, accepted two teacher resignations, and approved staff contracts, including a work agreement and a new teacher contract.
The Troy Unified School District 429 Board of Education on Monday approved district participation in a City of Troy grant application to install shade coverings at the district baseball and softball fields and completed several personnel actions, the board’s minutes show.
President Nikia Weber called the special meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the district Central Office. Board members unanimously approved the meeting agenda before moving into consideration of business items.
Why it matters: The grant participation authorization allows the City of Troy to include district ballfield shade structures when applying for external funding; the board’s vote formally authorizes the district to proceed with that cooperative grant submission.
During the meeting the board accepted two resignations: Margaret Benson, an elementary teacher, and Jonathan Rodvelt, a middle school teacher. The board also approved a work agreement for Adrienne Geiger for the 2025–2026 school year and approved a teaching contract for Andrew Dominguez for the 2025–2026 school year.
Procedural notes: The board voted to enter executive session to discuss an individual employee’s performance under the non‑elected personnel exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act; the minutes record that the board and the superintendent remained in executive session. The open meeting resumed and the listed personnel motions were approved.
The minutes include contact information for Superintendent Pat McKernan and building principals Allisha Engemann (Troy Elementary School) and Jeremy Prudden (Troy High School/Middle School). The special meeting was adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
Actions recorded in the minutes were procedural approvals and personnel actions; the minutes do not record roll‑call vote tallies beyond noting that motions carried.
